Phyla for which richness recognized with morphology-based taxonomy is higher than richness recognized with at least one metabarcoding approach are indicated by superscript “a”
Morphotypes were identified with comparative morphology; entities were recovered via DNA taxonomy (GMYC model) from single specimens
OTU operational taxonomic units recovered via 18S rRNA sequences from single specimens, eOTU operational taxonomic units recovered via metabarcoding, SV sequence variants recovered via metabarcoding
